No “kick” to R. H. 
All the impelling force of 
the powder is where it 
ought to be—forward. 
Ordinary powders spend 
their force in a big ex¬ 
plosion at the breech of 
the gun. R. H. burns 
progressively from breech to 
muzzle, giving tremendous ve¬ 
locity as the load leaves the 
gun. 
^BiN Hood 
ammunition 
is the only line of shot shells 
and metallic cartridges loaded 
with R. H. smokeless powders. 
Prove for yourself that R. H. 
shoots further, gets there quicker 
and hits harder; buy some from 
your dealer and test it.

mistakenly is the prelude to a fight is really a 
courtship conducted in sparrow style. 
“The cocks surround a lady sparrow, each 
crying out shrilly his own excellencies and the 
shocking demerits of the others. The lady ac¬ 
cepts all this homage by pecking furiously at 
all the excited suitors, but eventually she makes 
her choice and flies off with one, and they live 
happily together for the rest of the season. 
“The cormorant also has a most interesting 
way with him. When he is ‘in love’ he lies 
down and twisting his neck round lays it flat 
along his back. And if Miss Cormorant is 
touched, as she should be, by this display of 
misery and devotion she gently caresses with her 
bill the feathers of Mr. Cormorant at the point 
where the neck curves over on to the body, and 
all is well.”

Wesiminsier Kennel Show. 
The most successful dog show ever benched 
in this country was the thirty-seventh annual, 
held last week at the Grand Central Palace, New 
York city. In both attendance and quality of 
animals benched, this last show had it over any 
predecessor. It fell to a bow-legged bull from 
Chicago to take the ribbon for the best dog of 
any breed' in the show—Strathtay Prince Al¬ 
bert, owned and recently imported by A. H. 
Stewart. It is said that ten thousand dollars 
was offered for this ugly beauty after the show. 
Jacob Ruppert Jr.’s, fine St. Bernards came in 
for much attention from the public and judges, 
carrying off first honors with Splendidus, Young 
Stormer, Princess Nan and Queen of Pearls. 
J. G. Sherman’s Lerwick Bess took the premier 
in the Shetland Sheep class, which had a larger 
entry this year than ever before. Among the 
Irish setters, Stewartstown Rose, owned by 
Every time you throw a Fox 
to your shoulder, you know it 
will do what you ask it to do. 
It has the faculty of putting 
its charge where your eye and 
hand direct it. 
It wonderfully simple—three parts 
only in the entire lock. Has unusual 
strength —because of small number of 
parts they are larger and practically un¬ 
breakable. Perfect balance —an essen¬ 
tial for accurate shooting. Work¬ 
manship and finish the highest pos¬ 
sible prod.uct of the gun-maker’s art. 
With an action as quick as thought — 
the Fox is the “finest gun in the 
world”— guaranteed by the makers. 
Ask your dealer about the Fox Guar¬ 
antee and “Fox Proof” mark which 
means Safe and -Sound. Test the gun 
yourself. It will do everything but re¬ 
trieve the game. 
If your dealer hasn’t the Fox Gun, 
write us giving his name and ask for 
catalog in colors. It will give the 
Fox Guarantee and detailed description 
of all Fox guns.
